Pair of Zetas ex Dan...

[bluntchisel]

Hi, Guys,

Here's a couple of Zetas I did earlier. Unfortunately the one on the left blew up on the lathe (did you hear the screams of anguish?). I glued the two halves together, hoping that the join wouldn't show, and carried on turning and finishing. I then assembled the kit, positioning the clip so as to cover one side of the repair, which worked OK, but decided not to sell it. Instead, it has joined a small pile of pens in the kitchen the wife uses for shopping lists, etc. Ouch!
Shame, because they both gleam like glass.

Bob.

Very nice, I do like TM Zeta kits.
Must get some more.
Not tried to turn anything but wood so far, but seeing results like yours make me want to try non wood blanks. Esp as my 'Micromesh' stuff has just arrived in the post.

LOL, Bob I also have a "collection" of the same kind of pens. They are scattered around the workshop.

I believe we all have a few pens lying about that just don't come up to scratch. I'm busy filling a drawer with them

 

[Vic Perrin]

They still look a couple of nice ones.

Feeling the pain Bob, had one blow out yesterday. Had to sieve the hoover to get the bits back.

Both look great to me, you would never know...
